I think it’ll end up being even more FMA-like in that people will come to think the first adaptation was better / worse than the eventual, more faithful adaptation. Case in point: I think you’re quite mad to say Brotherhood had the better ending. Brotherhood to me devolved into a treasure trove of anime tropes and a…

I was born male, transitioned to female, lived that way for 8 years before deciding it wasn’t the path I wanted to stay on. Took hormones, took test blockers, the whole shebang (other than changing up the downstairs). Anecdotally I can say that I absolutely, 100% had a physical advantage (even as someone who did not…

Calling it now: the Robotnik tease at the end is not in chronological order, ie. Jim Carrey is not going to go from normal(-ish) guy to game look, but rather that he will follow Sonic to our world from another dimension, when he decides to blend in by trimming his mustache and growing his hair out.

I recently went to PAX East, expecting to come home with some swag and maybe a t-shirt.

I don't know that I could pick a single level but the Halo 2 campaign on Legendary was a nightmare the first time around, and it was soul-destroying when I went back around again as part of the Master Chief Collection. Just pure misery the whole way through.

Many hotels have a specific clause in their contract specifying they are not liable for bad shit happening to your car just because it’s in their lot.

She only had liability insurance. Which is not so crazy if you’re a good driver (and don’t expect your car to be set on fire). They won’t cover a malicious act like this.

No one said never, only that it’s not surprising. Especially considering (shocker) statistics show women are 3x more likely to be stalked than men, that 66% of women were stalked by a former intimate partner, and over 95% of the US identifies as straight...

Yes, women can be stalkers. No, no one disputed that. Stop…

I am reminded of the scene in Kingsman (the first, aka the good, one) where Colin Firth’s character meets Samuel L Jackson’s eccentric billionaire villain for dinner, and they eat... McDonald’s. It’s kooky, insulting, and just plain stupid enough to be a funny moment in a movie, but in reality it's... god, it's just…

There was some concept art back when this race was first considered for the game, before the team decided they were too silly (I guess they changed their mind / fans were persistent enough?)

A combination of “no such thing as bad publicity” and the psychology of human beings that, when confronted with evidence that runs counter to our beliefs, we tend to dig our heels in and fight even harder against it. See: rolling coal, climate change denial, “I’d like to see what happened before the video,” and Trump.

“Trump and those around him know that the Mueller investigation is swiftly closing in on him”

It’s been “swiftly” closing in for, what, two years? Don’t get me wrong, I wish it were true too, but it’s time to let this fantasy of Mueller saving us go, folks.

“Why does he look like a furry”

LOOK DON’T PIN THIS ON US, WE’RE JUST AS HORRIFIED

Its been commonly thought of as just a sexual fetish, but it’s really not much different from cosplay in my experience. Some people get really fixated on the sexual aspect (which, to be fair, certainly exists in the fandom) but I don’t think it’s anything approaching the “showing your kink in public” like some have…

Furries are people who enjoy anthropomorphic (see: possessing human qualities) animals. Some furries like art, some furries like stories, or movies, or games. And some (relatively few compared to the overall number of people who identify as part of the fandom) dress up in what are called “fursuits.” Fursuits could be…

Des Moines area resident here. I don’t recall there being a Taco John’s there circa 2009, but the area has changed a lot, so... *shrug*

But for all you folks who are like, “What the fuck is Taco John’s?” It’s basically less-shitty (but still not great) fast food Mexican. And they have the most goddamn delectable potato…

I REALLY hope some kinds come by wearing Fortnite costumes, though I live in a small town in a relatively rural area, so I’m not counting on it. If they do though, I will do the Orange Justice dance. Either they’ll find it fun that someone acknowledges their hobby, or they’ll be horrified an adult likes the same thing…

This is fucking bullshit. Don’t cause hysteria? If this happened to me I’d unplug the fucking thing myself and chuck it through Kemp’s window. (Yes I’m being hyperbolic - but god goddamn could you count on me making a scene. The idea we're supposed to trust these motherfuckers is laughable and yet we, for some reason,…

I totally do this too. Affirmation!
